FADAL MACHINING CENTERS 3.0 MANUAL OPERATION 3.1 MANUAL OPERATION MODES 3.1.1 MANUAL REFERENCE POSITION RETURN Reference Zero: Manual reference position return is to move the tool to the reference position using switches and push buttons located on the operator’s panel. Fadal machines are equipped with Absolute Encoders. Stored position information from the encoders will initialize the current machine position at power-up. Manual referencing of axes after power-up should not be required. When position is established by absolute feedback, REF RETURN MODE will simply command axes to Home position. Reference Procedure: 1. Select REF RETURN Mode 2. Select one axis to be referenced by X, Y, Z, 4, or 5 axes button. Machine axes will move at traverse rate to home position. When each axis has completed finding the reference position, the related machine coordinate will become to zero. Press the JOG, JOG INC, HANDLE or AUTO, MDI, and EDIT mode keys to exit the Reference mode. Pressing the POS key on the MDI panel will switch to different position display which includes machine coordinate, absolute coordinate, and related coordinate. For referencing of machine axes, including initialization of absolute encoder positions, please see separate maintenance procedure in Appendix. NOTE: FADAL machines do not use reference deceleration switches for establishing machine home position. Dog-less reference operation is provided for referencing axes without reference switches. Maintenance instructions for dog-less reference must be followed exactly, otherwise machine home position will not be repeatable. 7 of 53 3.0 MANUAL OPERATION MAN-0114R1

GE FANUC OPERATOR MANUAL 3.1.2 JOG OPERATION 1. Select JOG Mode. 2. Select one axis to be manually jogged by X, Y, Z, 4 or 5 axes buttons. Axis selection button does not have to be held down. LED will light indicating selected axis. Pressing any axis button will automatically de-select previously selected axis. It is implemented to prevent jogging of more than one axis simultaneously. 3. Press and hold or - direction button for desired direction of travel. Axis motion will continue until direction button is released. Direction LED will be lit during motion. Machine axes will travel at jog rate 200 inch per minute. Feedrate Override rotary switch may be used to vary jog rate. 4. Pressing TRVRS during continuous jog move will increase axis jog rate to traverse speed (MAX 900IPM for XY axis, 700IPM for Z axis). Feed rate rotary switch is also used to override traverse rates. NOTE: If the feedrate is at 0%, no motion will occur when using the “ /-” jog button. 6030, 8030 have the Max 400ZPM for X. Y. Z. JULY 2005 3.0 MANUAL OPERATION 8 of 53

FADAL MACHINING CENTERS 3.1.3 INC JOG OPERATION Each time a /- button is pressed, the tool moves by the predetermined distance. 1. Select INCR JOG Mode. 2. Select one axis by X, Y, Z, 4 or 5 axes buttons, as in JOG mode. 3. Select desired increment of travel by using X1, X10, X100 or X1000 push buttons. 4. Press or - direction button for desired direction of travel. Incremental axis motion of selected distance will be commanded per each press of direction button. Direction LED will be lit during motion. Incremental travel selection by multiplier setting (X1, X10, X100 or X1000) is based on the minimum command increment used by FADAL machine, 0.0001 inch or 0.001 mm. Selection of X1 will command 0.0001” or 0.001mm for each press of direction button. X10 commanding 0.001” or 0.01mm, (10 x 0.0001” or 10 x 0.001mm) and so on. X1: 0.0001 inch (0.001mm) X10: 0.001 inch (0.01mm) X100: 0.01 inch (0.1mm) X1000: 0.1 inch (1.0mm) 3.1.4 HANDLE OPERATION Handle mode is also referred to as MPG Mode (Manual Pulse Generator). By rotating the manual handle, the tool moves by the distance corresponding to the degree of handle rotation. 1. Select Handle Mode. 2. Select one axis by X, Y, Z, 4 or 5 axes buttons, as in JOG mode. 9 of 53 3.0 MANUAL OPERATION MAN-0114R1

GE FANUC OPERATOR MANUAL 3. Select desired increment of travel by using X1, X10, X100 or X1000 push buttons. X1: 0.0001 inch (0.001mm) X10: 0.001 inch (0.01mm) X100: 0.01 inch (0.1mm) 4. Rotate manual pulse generator (MPG) clock-wise or counter clock-wise for plus or minus motion, respectively. For each detent or “click” of MPG handle, one selected increment or travel will be commanded. Direction LED will be lit during motion. NOTE: Increment travel selection by multiplier settings are used same as during INCR JOG mode. For example, selection of X10 increment with clock-wise rotation of 15 “clicks” on MPG will command 0.0150” or 0.150mm of travel in plus direction. NOTE: When MPG hand wheel is rotated at a rate fast enough to exceed the axis traverse rate, the axis speed is claimped at the traverse rate and excess rotation of the hand wheel is ignored. In this case, the distance of axis travel will not equal the amount of hand wheel rotation. 3.1.5 JOG FEED RATE When the machine is in the JOG mode, the jog feedrate varies from 0 IPM to 240 IPM since the feedrate switch changes the feedrate from 0% to120%. For example, if Jog Feedrate Switch is at 100%, the feedrate changes to 200IPM. This switch affects the rapid speed since it is rapid speed override switch also.
